Trees really do communicate and, yes, there is evidence that trees exhibit some levels of intelligent behavior. Although the question of whether plants are intelligent is still debated, academics, experts and many researchers acknowledge and agree that trees communicate with each other and can help each other.

♦ Trees can make memories and recall them through learned responses. For example, a mimosa plant that was dropped 60 times stopped folding its leaves after the drops.
♦ Trees can exhibit problem-solving behaviors.
♦ Trees can “hear” sounds in their environment and react to them. For example, sounds can cause trees to produce more nectar, grow towards water, or release toxins.
♦ Trees can form symbiotic unions with fungi to absorb nutrients from the soil.
♦ Trees store memories of past events in their tree rings and in the DNA of their seeds.
♦ Trees can tell time by noticing the increasing amount of darkness each day as the seasons change.

Do you know what mycelium is?

A mycelium may be minute, forming a colony that is too small to see, or may grow to span thousands of acres as in Armillaria.

The mycelium or mycorrhiza is a fungus that expands below the soil, creating a network of connections between all plant species. It is our planet’s natural Matrix and allows these organic entities to not only communicate, but to “collaborate” – taking care of, protecting, and feeding themselves and others in addition to stocking up on water. When a tree is cut down in the forest, this mycelium communicates to the rest of the trees that one of them is dying, and the others, through the mycelium, begin to take care of the remaining trunk to try to save that life. They feed it, give it water and protect its life source. This is true community and seemingly without a leader, without direction, without any set of rules, the whole forest rallies because that dying trunk is part of the forest family. ^[1]
